    So the change was because clubs didn’t apply the Safekey requirement last weekend which would be a flagrant breach of the conditions. If that is the case why hasn’t the Premier called for a police investigation into this illegal activity.
    Also it is highly unlikely anyone can control the numbers as most grounds have many public access areas. Clearly data and science no longer applies to the Covid rules, it’s now just politics, just like the quarantine mess.
